Well that was back when Ronald McDonald and Ronald Reagan were “butt-buddies”. They hadn’t invented the word “gay” back in the 1960s.

By the 1980s, ol’ Ronnie was giving McDonnie his ecconomics to trickle out of the side of his mouth.

Oh nooooo…anyways.

Should I feel blessed in my ignorance that I’ve never heard of TDS?

Always has been. Used to be contained to religion.

God is all knowing, he created the universe, he created man, he created all life on earth, he created complex ecosystems that symbiotically support each other by each others existence.

He created man with a complex brain that has sentience, and a unique ability to design new concepts.

But even with all that, God just can’t balance a checkbook. He needs you to give 10% of human created currency to…uhhh…look, just put your money in the bowl. Don’t question it.

And these concepts go back thousands of years. Then sometime in the 1960s, some assholes started plotting ways to expand on that through government control. Then years later Nixon was like “Yeah, sure, I’ll do that. I’m corrupt enough. Now help me spy on the democrats!”

Then each year the government spends just a little less on education, and the masses get dumber, and easier to manipulate.

Then some time in the 90s, Rupert Murdock was like “Hey, what if we brainwash these assholes 24/7? Then we can expand our corruption even FURTHER!!!”

And now we’re at the point where I legitimately think some of these people can’t even be thought of people. More like zombies. Wait, no. That’s not quite fair. Zombies at least seek out brains. These people today have no desire use for brains.

And hangin with mr cooper had squiggly neon lines that were never explained and never referenced.

It’s literally all I remember about that show

NAKKID GRANDMA!!!

You call them tankies, but every country has that. People blindly patriotic to their own country. Willing to overlook the biggest of flaws with their country.

I live in the united states, and have seen people defend ICE. I’ve heard people defend the Vietnam War. I’ve seen people defend our multiple invasions of Iraq. I’ve seen people online defend the killings of Renėe Good, and Alex Pretti.

All because “Home good, outsiders bad!”

And that’s as far as some people think.

Maybe to YOU. There’s a reason I come to Lemmy, and formerly reddit, and ask questions that I COULD just google. But I ask people. Because people aren’t robots. Family Fued is a tv show based around the idea that you can ask 100 people the same question, and get different answers.

If I ask google the same question 100 times, it loads the same info everytime.

So, good job to those of you who voted for trump because Kamala was pro-Isreal.

You voted for the guy who’s even MORE pro-Isreal, AND now we’re getting murdered in the streets.

It would just get lazy, drink all your booze, and tell you to bite his shiny robot ass.

Because humans don’t think the way you do. You think “well if everyone just did the thing I like, then the thing I like would work”.

Meanwhile, each individual person is a highly complex series of thoughts, emotions, and opinions that change with time. And that’s just 1 person. There are BILLIONS of people on this planet. Each one unique. Each one thinking their own set of thoughts.

But the majority just go with whatever has the least resistance. Youtube is established. Youtube is the default content provider. Therefore it doesn’t matter if there’s a better option. This one requires no effort on their part to find content.

Peertube is decentralized. Which means it has no way to ever formulate a plan to gain popularity, or even plan things. You run your own instance, host your own content, and deal with your own issues.

But what if someone else hosts their own instance with offensive content? Can’t shut them down. They host their own content. There is no overseeing board to enforce rules.

And theres no way to make money either. The top youtubers don’t see youtube as a hobby. They see it as a job. Now imagine going to your job, and your boss tells you that they’re switching platforms, and this new platform has no money to pay you. Would you stay?

So you need a coordinated effort, with no plan for profit, on a service that needs to be built up from the ground up, for an audience that doesn’t exist yet.

Forget “why not improve peertube?” the real question is “what motivation would anyone have to do so?”

…have you been to peertube?

I know the bottom one is puff daddy, and he’s in jail now. Who’s the blonde?

find some nostalgic smell to bring you back to a moment in your past.

He’s gonna bring you back to the past.

To smell all the things that smell like shitty ass.

He’d rather smell, a rotten buffalo, taking a diarrea dump in his nose!

He’d rather smell the rotten asshole, of a roadkill skunk and down it with beer!

It saddens me how often this image will be relevant over the next 3 to ??? years.

On my clipboard I already have that paragraph copied. I was going to paste it, and say something that may not be word for word exact, but essentially identical in tone and message.

But I see you have it covered before I got here.

He thinks mexico paid for the wall.

He thinks the wall was fully built years ago in trumps first term.

He believes trump tells the truth.

In other words, he did “his own research”, which consisted of believing his own biases, and confirming them in an echo chamber.

At first you think he may just be naive of how tarrifs work. Which is still true, but it doesn’t explicitly label him as maga.

Then he says this…

How does this benefit me?

And there it is. The selfish attitude that tells me he voted for this exact outcome without a clue what that outcome actually was. Just voted for his team, and didn’t bother with the details. Oh well. Have the day you voted for.

No. That was one of the things being sued over.

Subway argued in court that “Footlong” is a trademarked brand, and does not mean it’s 12 inches. Then they argued that the average consumer would KNOW this, and not be confused by these terms.

Footlong is a subway branded term for their bigger sub. Foot long is a generic term that means one foot long.

Yes, that’s real. I’m not joking. They legitimately did this. Just like Fox News argued in court that their station is NOT a news network. It is an entertainment network, presenting purely opinion based stories. As such, they have ZERO obligation for their stories to contain even a shred of truth or fact to their stories. And “Fox News” is a branded term, not relating to, or presenting factual news reports.

On a related note, would anyone like to buy “Bigger Penis Pills”? I mean, it’s just condensed sugar in tablet form. But I’ve branded it as “Bigger Penis Pills”, and selling it for $100 per pill.
